MIAMI—There’s a new commercial real estate firm in town—actually, in two towns.
Earl Wesson and Mia Stierheim have launched Stierheim and Wesson Retail Realty Inc. with offices in Indian Rocks Beach and Miami. Stierheim, senior vice president of Retail Services, will head the Miami office while Wesson, president, will head the Indian Rocks Beach office.

Why start a new commercial real estate firm now? Stierhem tells GlobeSt.com that she and her partner have discovered that clients need a higher level of personalized service.

“There are greater expectations for hands-on, fast turn-around results with a higher degree of integrity in today's environment than ever before,” Stierhem says. “Large corporate commercial firms have a structured platform that can hinder the amount of time dedicated for each and every client. These large firms also departmentalize industry categories to specific areas, which can create red tape and less flexibility when servicing a client's overall needs.”
